Lijphart presents a comprehensive analysis of democracies, categorising them into majoritarian and consensus models. Through meticulous research and case studies from various countries, he illustrates how these models influence political stability, citizen engagement, and policy-making. The book challenges conventional views, encouraging readers to reconsider the assumptions surrounding democracy and its implementations.
